I’ve had a ton of backpacks that are expensive, big and bulky. This bag is half of the size on the outside and holds twice as much on the inside because of the amazing organization. I’m currently able to fit a “14 MacBook, a 13” iPad, a spiral binder, a couple of books, my Apple mouse, headphones, you name it and it fits. The quality and durability are unmatched, it’s everything I’ve been looking for. Buy this bag! Read more

I’ve been through a lot of bags, backpacks, and briefcases and this is by far the best one ever! I needed something to accommodate my large laptop and the design with multiple pockets is great. The quick access outside magnetic pocket is genius and comes in handy when going thru TSA at the airport. It also stands up. It’s perfect and well done, can’t recommend enough. Read more

I love Alpaka products and have many backpacks, slings, etc. from them. I've been carrying backpacks for work for many years and wanted to try a brief case style bag again, so this Alpaka Bravo Brief seem to be the perfect choice for me. I've always love the Alpaka aesthetics and this one stays true to that minimalist, yet modern look. I love the look and feel of this bag. Looks more professional that carrying a backpack, but it's also not your dad's old leather brief case. I think it's the perfect balance. The volume is listed as a 15L, but it feels a lot larger than similar size bags that I have. It easily fits my usually carry (laptop, iPad, tech case, etc.) with still plenty of room for a water bottle, a light jacket, snacks, etc. I really like the choice of the light grey color interior (over the bright orange), which keeps the professional look. The internal organization is what I would expect from Alpaka, which is really good. The horizontal design makes it very easy to loop over a spinner luggage handle with the luggage pass-through strap. The weight is probably average for this size of bag. I do have 2 grips on this bag. 1st, not sure why Alpaka decided to go with paracord zipper pulls. It takes a little away from the professional aesthetics. 2nd, the included shoulder strap has the adjustment buckle falls close to the middle of the strap when I adjust it to my preferred length. However, that means the padded shoulder pad cannot easily slide to the middle. I had to tuck the buckle through the shoulder pad, which take a bit of work and I can actually feel the buckle under the shoulder pad. Not sure why they don't make the adjuster at each end, instead of the middle. This versatile bag is a good alternative to a backpack and does a great job in maximizing the space available and organization. Read more

The Alpaka Bravo Brief is an excellent bag for travel, the office, and everything else. Its large enough to pack for week/end trips while also accommodating things like legal pads and documents in the outer pocket. That while also having ample internal pockets to keep your other items organized, easy to find, and protected from any weather thrown its way. Big fan of the inclusion of the key tether. This is an easy bag for use everyday and is more than large enough to accommodate everything I need for my work day, commute, and gym, too. I love the styling and design language for this bag and all of Alpaka's products. I really like the silhouette of this briefcase and just how the materials look in general. The bag looks simple on the outside, but has tons to offer on the inside. The materials are also top-notch and deal with inclement weather with ease. The materials used for this bag are excellent and honestly put a lot of name-brand manufacturers to shame. This is a very nice bag that should last a lifetime if it isnt lost or stolen before that comes to fruition. This bag is double-walled like many of Alpaka's other bags, meaning there are two layers of fabric separating the inside of the bag from the outside world. This should allow the bag to handle tons of abuse to the outer shell without compromising the internal pockets or the integrity of the storage. This brief does an excellent job as an alternative to a tote bag. The shoulder strap sits on the back half of the bag, allowing for access while on the move. The internal organization pockets keep things neat and easy to find. The shoulder strap is very comfortable for extended distances and periods of time. The strap is removable but secure while mounted. It's a neat system that works well. There is also an external pocket with a magnetic closure that's just about large enough for a full-size clipboard :) The clipboard pokes out the top a little when I need to carry one around, but I actually love how accessible this bag keeps it. This external pocket is also great for slipping your wallet or phone, and a flashlight into. Its kinda an easy pocket to overlook, but very handy. This pocket also works well for tucking one of the handles out of the way while using the shoulder strap. This stops this handle from getting tangled or causing clothes to bunch up. What a well-thought-out design. The other (outer) handle remains available and makes it easy to maneuver or lift the bag if needed. Perfect fo rthe subway or when moving through toll gates. The outer handle also has two loops, perfect for attaching many of the HUB Carabiner line of products. Great for other crabiners, accessories, bangles, or charms as well. The leather Alpaka logo looks excellent. It's a nice-looking badge. This is a perfect bag for rainy cities. I live in Seattle and this is perfect for getting documents between buildings during stormy weather. I'm very happy to use this bag for the coming winter. The bottom and back panels of the bag are padded. The laptop sleeve also has a fleece lining, and there is a second sleeve that's large enough for another laptop or other electronics like a tablet or Steam Deck. The materials used are heavy-duty and self-standing. This bag looks and feels great. This would make for a very classy gym bag and is perfect for just about everything I can think of. It's a great everyday bag and should carry more than everything you need to get through a day. It's a wonderful companion for photographers and artists. You can fit a decent-sized drawing pad and tons of paint or pencils and pens in this bag. It'd really be perfect for an artist on the move or a business person all the same. This new midnight blue that Alpaka has been putting out is just gorgeous. No notes, please offer all your bags in this color. I'm in love. This blue blends in just a bit more out in public for me and tends to complement my clothing better than the green. I do love the green that alpaka uses, though. This is another great bag from Alpaka. I want to say its perfect and I cant think of a negative thing to say about the bag so... If you can afford it, there is no reason not to get one. The Bravo Brief 15L is lovely and will serve you well while also looking great at the same time. If the price tag makes you pucker a bit, the quality of this bag makes me think it's something worth saving for. The Bravo Brief is an excellent bag. Read more
